Although EICMA is predominantly a place for manufacturers to showcase their latest new machinery there is still a fair selection of parts for classic scooters.
Here’s a quick round-up of some of the eyecatching scooters on display, along with some brief details of new parts.
Our video shows as much tech info as we could get from VMC so don’t shoot the messenger…
VMC
We first featured Italian tuning house, VMC back in 2021 – you can read all about the company here. Since then they’ve gained in popularity and their good quality parts are imported to the UK by VE or Germany through Scooter Center and SIP Scootershop. Not only are the parts good, but they’re also much more affordable than most Vespa tuning brands.
Thug
Showing for the first time at EICMA this year, the VMC stand had a few goodies for 2025. Those parts included a new 144cc ‘Thug’ cylinder kit and an upgraded smallframe RVA kit, the RVA’s capacity has been increased to 110cc (from 100cc).
Update February 2026
The Thug cylinder was delayed due to manufacturing issues, but will be available late spring 2026.
Bolt on Vespa master cylinder
As well as a radial brake caliper and disc, VMC have also developed a neat master cylinder. Rather than the usual route of drilling and bolting, or welding a master cylinder bracket on to a headset, the VMC solution simply slides into the front brake lever aperture and bolts in using the original bolt hole. The angle of the lever is also much more comfortable than the original lever. Designed to fit early non-disc PX models it’s a clever solution. We suggested a Lambretta version would be very popular in the UK.
Vespa ignition
Also new for 2025 is the VMC Vespa ignition kit. The kit will come supplied with different weight mounts for the flywheel so you can change the characteristics of your motor depending on use/tuning etc.
RMS/CIF
With some tasty Fabbri Racing smallframes on the stand, RMS was always going to get a visit from us. RMS manufactures and distributes Vespa parts around the world. They supply everything from replacement rubbers to body parts and also make their own parts under various brands. Names such as Carbone Suspension and Vespa plastics. They also have a tuning brand called Evok with cylinder kits, ignitions, clutches and other parts. Sadly there was nobody on the stand who could give us any more details about their new products.
Lambretta shocks
This stand was also the only place we saw any classic Lambretta parts, with Sebac suspension showing in a range of colours, including a classic cream for Lambretta.
Polini
This brand had some pretty cool scooters on the stand, the Polini colours always stand out well. They also had a selection of classic Vespa parts and complete engines fitted with various Polini parts, such as their crank, ignition, reedvalve and airbox.
New for 2025 is their High Torque clutch for PX and a new replacement PX 200 cylinder head.
Smallframe forks
Vespa smallframe (and Piaggio Zip) fans may well be interested in their beefy Polini Evolution front forks and suspension. Built primarily for racing in the Italian Polini Cup, the forks can be adjusted using shims to give a lower ride height. They’re also 1.1kg heavier than standard so it’ll help keep your front end on the tarmac!
Pinasco
Another Italian tuning house with a trick endurance racer on the stand, Pinasco. They also had Mario Pecorari’s Vespa PX Pinasco 177 on display. Mario has travelled over 365,000 kilometres on it, much of it with his girlfriend, Sandra Corozzi.
252 Endurance kit
New for 2025 is the 252cc Endurance kit for Vespa PX 200. This kit is designed, as the name suggests for long-distance riding. It’s ‘plug and play’ for home fitment and is said to be a “Fast, reliable and powerful touring engine with a lot of torque.” It’s a 6-port cylinder with 62mm stroke, 127mm conrod and 6 ports. It comes complete with a centre plug cylinder head and can be used with a reedvalve or rotary induction.
Other new items of interest were the Ergal Racing Clutch for large frame Vespas and Racing Brake Shoes.
Pinasco parts can be found on their website here, or at the usual stockists and big-name shops.
Malossi
Getting information out of Malossi was like pulling teeth but they’ve got a new gear kit for Vespa largeframe and new 100cc race engines for the Zip that are said to make 30bhp.
N.I.S.A Seats
Another Italian company we showcased on SLUK are N.I.S.A apart from some new colours and finishes for 2025, N.I.S.A will also be making some slightly lower Vespa GTS seats.
Dellorto
There were a couple of things to look at on the Dellorto stand. Once you got past the lovely smallframe they also had a selection of popular carburettors and smart carbs. It’s good to see they’re still committed to supplying classic bike and scooter owners.
VPS
This Taiwanese brand was new to me and they were showing at EICMA for the first time. They make a range of shock absorbers for popular models, including Vespa PX, PK and GTS, as well as the modern Lambretta. The shocks are fully adjustable and are also rebuildable. Interestingly, they also have lower ride height options available for Vespa GTS/Primavera/Sprint.
VPS don’t currently have a UK/European distributor but I’d imagine they will have before too long. Until then, you can check them out here.
Rho Vespa Club
EICMA is situated in a gigantic exhibition space near to the town of Rho in the Lombardy region of Italy. As part of a local tourist information display, they had a PX belonging to a member of Rho Vespa Club. Italy is still very proud of its classic scooter heritage.
